Starting to figure things out a bit with this knife making thing. Yesterday I made a relatively simple knife shape with a big part of its purpose to test out making a hamon. It is 1080 steel and I used PCB etchant from Radio Shack at a 1:4 ratio with water for about 10 seconds, then polish with 2000g sandpaper. I did it about 5x.

This noob thinks that you should press that grind up a little more toward the spine. The hamon won't suffer if it is going to appear.
